Abstract (en)

A method for preparation of colored contact lens with a dazzling appearance is disclosed. Pigments are first printed to a convex surface of a plastic mold. Material for the lens is then dropped onto the concave surface of the plastic mold. The mold then spins in a determined speed for a determined period of time, such that a desired radius surface is formed. During the spinning, the pigments are distributed inside the lens material due to the centrifugal force so generated, at positions determined generally by the diameters of the particles, such that a dazzling appearance may be obtained. This invention also discloses the contact lens prepared according to the method of this invention.
